Iowa Crops Lag Behind Despite Strong Acreage
Webster City Iowa June 15 Town reports Iowa crops are 17 to 18 percent behind last year at this time. Director J R Sage of the weather and crop bureau voices cautious optimism. Despite heavy rains and floods this year, corn acreage grew as farmers converted small grain fields. Early prospects suggested higher yields, but persistent downpours have kept crops below standard. If weather normalizes, crop prospects may improve in a month.
